    I admit that I was a bit disappointed that it does not eject a piece of candy when you hit the shutter.

    Maybe it will on a Canon?

    And for those who feel 'silly' with a Gary Fong flash diffuser on their camera we now can have Bert and Ernie!!! Actually, this might losen up a few stiff adults, too!!! rolleyes1.gif

    While I don't ever *try* to get kids to cheese for the camera, this could do wonders for word of mouth. "that photographer with Big Bird sticking out of her camera, she was a hoot!" :haha

    Some children's photographers have been know to wear funny hats and/or funny costumes as well............... Might match the PEZ dispenser gadget.

    rolleyes1.gif Good trick! (I use them for other photography projects).

    Just don't slice and dice the feet of a valuable PEZ dispenser (hint, a really valuable one won't have feet). See me first if you dig up an old PEZ from your attic.
